Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9530911A1] Acoustic transmitter in particular for use in offshore seismic explorations, having sound-emitting surfaces (1, 2) being adapted to be subjected to vibrational movement by means of a drive unit (21) through at least one push element (22A, 22B) and two plate-like end pieces (3, 4) which are connected to the sound-emitting surfaces. The sound-emitting surfaces are formed by two curved plate members (1, 2) being of comparable width and heigth dimensions. The end pieces (3, 4) have a generally rectangular shape with a first pair of opposing side edges connected (5, 6, 7, 8) to end portions of the plate members (1, 2). Another pair of side edges on each end piece (3, 4) as well as side edges of the plate members engage two side plates (9, 10) which at either side closes the acoustic transmitter, preferably in a tightly enclosing manner.
